Lyrics: 

Good thing have you gone away 
Leaving those tears to dry 
All good things got to go that way 
Though I cant say why 

But the rippling breeze 
Magic mountains and all 
Make for a beautiful day 

You can open up the iron gates 
You can get my mind to change a mood 
And lately I have learned some things 
From being distracted by you 

Another go around the block 
Another telephone call 

Gone is the satellite, the one true believer 
Gone is my broken ballerina 
Remember the times that you had taken over 
Bathed in a radiant lovers light 

Til another day 

Good thing have you gone away 
Leaving those tears to dry 
I know it goes that way 
Though I cant say way 

And I cant stand luck to fall 
And I dont need nothing at all 
It’s a beautiful day
